WEBVTT HAVE TO PULL SOME, IF YOU WILL, THINGS OUT OF THEHAT. COACH FRANK BROYLES ESTABLISHED A TEMPLATE THAT BECAME THE TEMPLATE FOR EVERY MAJOR UNIVERSITY THAT EVER TRIED TO RAISE FUNDS TO BUILD FACILITIES LIKE STADIUM IN THIS VERY ARENA HE'S IN. HE PUT THE BEST SEATS WITH THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD GIVE T SCHOLARSHIPS, AND SO THAT, IF FUNDAMENTALLY, YOU GAVE A SCHOLARSHIP, YOU WERE ABLE TO GET TWO SEATS OR FOUR SEATS ON THE 50-YARD LINE. THE RAZORBACKFOUNDATION. COACH BROYLES WAS THE ONE WHO PUT THE JUICE BEHIND IT. WE TALK A LOT ABOUT COACH BROYLES, AND WE TALK ABOUT HIS WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL QUALITIES. BUT I'M A SALESMAN. WHEN, BASICALLY, I WAS A SENIOR,I WAS GETTING MY MASTER'S DEGREE, AND HE ENCOURAGED ME ANDHELPED ME COMMUNICATE WITH BARRYBRYANT, PAUL DIESEL, ALL OF THE GREAT COACHES, AND I WROTE MY MASTER'S THESIS ON THE ROLE OF ORAL COMMUNICATION SELLING IN MODERN-DAY FOOTBALL. AND HE ENCOURAGED ME TO HAVE MY THESIS ON THA KIND OF BASIS. I HAVE AN OLD SAYING. THERE'S FIVE THINGS THAT MAKE A GREAT MARKETING SALESMAN. FIVE. FIRST, ASK FOR THE MONEY. I FORGOT THE OTHER FOUR. [LAUGHTE >> COACH BROYLES TAUGHT ME THAT.YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE MEETING COMING OUT OF THE ALZHEIMER'S, AND HE WAS LOOKING BACK SAYING, CAN WE EXPECT YOUR CHECK? BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT TAKES ASMUCH AS NOT RUNNING AROUND THE BLOCK IN FOOTBALL OR THROWING A TIGHT PASS IF YOU'RE A QUARTERBACK. HE HAD THE JUICE. HE HAD THE SAUCE. HE HAD THE SAUCE. I WANT TO SAY, IN CLOSING, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT WE COULD SHARE THESE THOUGHTS ABOUT HIM AL NIGHT LONG. ALL DAY LONG. BUT LONG, LONG AFTER THEY MIGHT FORGET THESE GREAT FACILITIES AND THESE GREAT IMPROVEMENTS, LONG EVEN MAYBE AFTER THEY FORGET WHO WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP THEY'LL NEVER FORGET THE BUILDERS OF MEN AND WOMEN.THEY'LL NEVER FORGET THOSE PEOPLE. AND THEY DON'T COME ALONG EVERY DAY. GENN, AND YOUR FAMILY, ALL THE BROYLES GROUP, WHAT A SPECIAL THING TO HAVE JUST GOTTEN MAYBE A LITTLE WATER BOY TO BE A PART OF YOUR DAD'S LIFE. WE WILL REMEMBER HIM ALWAYS. HE REALLY HAS BEEN ARKANSAS'S GREATEST AMBASSADOR. THANK YOU GUYS.

Broyles served as head coach for the Razorbacks football team from 1958 to 1976, leading the Hogs to a national championship in the 1964 season.

Broyles became the school's athletic director in 1974 while still the football coach, eventually retiring from the gridiron to focus on administrative duties following the 1976 season. He retired as athletic director in 2007, moving into a fundraising role with the school's Razorback Foundation until his retirement from that role in 2014.

Remembrances poured in Monday following news of Broyles' death. Former President Bill Clinton says Broyles was "a leader of character, intelligence and determination," while Gov. Asa Hutchinson called Broyles "an Arkansas treasure."

"We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who helped contribute to his charmed life. Whether you were one of his players, coaches, colleagues or friends, a Razorback fan or fellow caregiver, you were an integral part of his fairy tale story. To his family, he was quite simply, our hero," Broyles' family said in a statement.

"Coach Broyles was a life changing influence for me both from a personal and professional perspective," former Razorback and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "He was the singular most important man of sports in the history of the State of Arkansas, and his impact on the game of football across our country was just as significant."

U.S. Senator John Boozman released a statement saying "I will be forever proud to be a Razorback and to have had the opportunity to be one under Coach Broyles. Coach Broyles was fond of saying there are two types of people in this world: givers and takers. Live your life as a giver, not a taker. We lost a giver today, but we are so much better for what he gave us.”

Gov. Asa Hutchinson's statement read "This is a day we knew would come, but it is still a great loss to learn of the passing of Coach Broyles. My first memory of Frank was cheering on the Hogs with my dad, but that was just part of his great legacy. He was an Arkansas treasure who devoted his life to others—from student-athletes to his support of Alzheimer’s research. He was an example for young people to follow, and that alone reflects a life well lived.”

Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge released a statement in which she said "Heaven will have no louder cheerleader for the Razorbacks than Coach Broyles. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family and the University of Arkansas community. WPS!"

"The Razorback Family has lost its patriarch and Arkansas has lost one of its most beloved figures," Jeff Long, University of Arkansas Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics said in a statement. “I will forever be grateful for the generosity, graciousness and unwavering support he extended to me when I came to the University of Arkansas. The thoughts and prayers of the entire Razorback nation are with his wife Gen, his children and the entire Broyles Family.”

“Today, college football lost one of the greats. Few people could match Frank Broyles’s dedication to the University of Arkansas: 57 years of devoted, distinguished service," U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton said in a statement.
